Eyedropper doesn't sample placed bitmap right
When sampling color from placed bitmap image in illu, it samples different values the the values in the original file.
That way if I have a picture with dark black background and I want to place it on a larger canvas with text, I can't sample the black and create a larger vector shape as background. If I do sample it, the print will show a difference in color and will not be approved (or worse will be printed like that)
Support said I should open the file instead of placing it, but what should I do if I want to place 6 images in one A4? open them all and copy paste each one?
Please resolve accuracy of the eyedropper.
Thank you :)

Sampling a colour in a bitmap placed in Illustrator does not sample the correct colour value if the bitmap is placed using the "Link" option.
If the bitmap is placed with the "Link" option switched off ie embedded the the colours are sampled correctly.
I have attached a reference image which shows a placed, linked file in an Illustrator document. The squares at the bottom are colours created in Photoshop with their colour values indicated. The circles at the top are vector objects in illustrator with the colour values as the eyedropper tool sampled them.
